Retro Single Review: Alan Jackson, "I'll Try"

1995 | Peak: #1

As promises of never-ending love go, this isn’t terribly optimistic.

It’s like Alan Jackson didn’t get the songwriters manual that mandates flowery and unrealistic promises to walk a thousand miles and rope the moon and such.

So he wrote a plaintive

promise instead.  He’ll try.  That’s it.

And somehow, that’s more romantic than the most figurative metaphor could ever be.
